For that level of caring and service you now need to go to his office in Greenbelt. Here they have this thing where is your blood pressure is high they will not treat you. I have anxiety normally but certainly for a dental appointment. The last time I was there I had been stressing about that appointment for two weeks. I had been losing sleep. To be told, no your bottom number is 103 and needs to be 99 on an inaccurate wrist cuff and told they would treat me. Over a decade we've spent over 30k there. But no mas. No waiver allowed and they wouldn't make an exception when the bottom number was 100, it had to be 99. If y'all don't thing dental anxiety is a thing. Then I'll go elsewhere.

Updated 9/21 post follow up appointment: I spoke at length…read morewith Dr. Jose and Dr. Torres both owners of the practice and I have been assured that they are taking my concerns and experience seriously, and will be addressing and training the admin staff. I feel better about my overall care and I am giving the practice another opportunity to turn my perception around. Again I had no issue with the care from the providers, and I really do hope I continue to have positive future experiences with the practice. I've been here quite a few times between my appointments and my husbands. First I'll mention the things I like about the practice and there are not many. I like Dr. Chon and the dental hygienists for the most part. Professional and knowledgeable, very clean sleek modern looking offices at both locations. Now for the bad: the front desk staff at both locations are sorely lacking. They send out appointment reminders for the wrong office location, causing us to be late for one of my husbands appointments. Flat out lied about not doing so even though we clearly had the text reminder showing the wrong office. My appointment for my laser procedure lasted longer than necessary. I was left waiting in the exam room long enough for the numbing gel to completely wear off and just took the lidocaine injections without it because I wanted to get in and out. So my appointment was at 2 I believe the actual surgery happened just over an hour later. Same issues with follow up appointments, it's hit or miss whether the reminder is for the office we are supposed to be going to. Dr. Chon is a very competent provider and I'm sure the other providers are good but I will not be going back after my final appointment this month. I personally would rather find a different practice and take my chances. Am I too harsh? Maybe but after seeing patients myself for 16 years I would never behave this way and allow my front desk staff to be so woefully incompetent.

I went to Columbia Center for Implants & Periodontics at the end of last year and had a very…read moredisappointing experience. I was seen by Dr. Torres, who evaluated me and told me I needed to extract five teeth and replace them with implants and bone grafts. She said she couldn't provide a quote or treatment plan at that visit and instructed me to return in two weeks to see Dr. Jose for his input. She even advised me to cancel a deep cleaning I had already scheduled with my regular dentist so I did, even though I really needed it. Two weeks later, I showed up for my appointment with Dr. Jose. They brought me back, made me wait a long time, and eventually an assistant came in to tell me that Dr. Torres had completely forgotten to inform anyone that I was supposed to see him. The only thing she left at reception was a treatment plan for extracting tooth #19--nothing about the five extractions, grafts, or implants she originally told me I needed. The assistant said Dr. Torres would call me that day to apologize and clarify and she never did. I chose this center because of the glowing reviews, but my experience was the complete opposite. It was unprofessional, disorganized, and a total waste of my time. Time I could have spent getting proper care somewhere else. After this ordeal, I went to The Mugford Center, and the difference was night and day. They were professional, responsible, and actually followed through. I ended up getting all the treatment I needed there without any of the runaround. The thousands of dollars I was prepared to spend at Columbia Center for Implants & Periodontics ultimately went to The Mugford Center instead. A place I recommend 100%.

Before treatment, I was given an estimate that seemed reasonable, but after the procedure, the final bill ended up being much higher. There was no clear explanation that certain services, like a CT scan, would not be covered by insurance, which led to unexpected charges. The billing changed multiple times, and some charges were only adjusted or removed after I questioned them, which made the whole process confusing and stressful. On top of that, the office seemed understaffed. During my visits, I was asked to hold the suction and air tube myself while the dentist was working, which felt very unprofessional and uncomfortable. the overall experience was disappointing due to the lack of transparency and organization. I would strongly recommend double-checking coverage with your insurance and getting everything clearly explained in writing before moving forward with any treatment here.

I had multiple fillings done at this office, and both times were disappointing. My first filling…read morecame out after just a year while flossing. I also had to go back because the bite was left uneven, which caused sensitivity and required additional filing (this is what the dentist explained to me). When it was replaced, I had to pay again because they said fillings are temporary, even though I've had fillings elsewhere that lasted 10+ years. The new filling has been sensitive for months, and I cannot chew on that side without sharp pain. Large pieces of food get stuck between my teeth, which is painful and uncomfortable. The way my teeth were filed makes chewing difficult and they look skinny and fang-like. The hygienist there even commented on how sharp they were. I gave them two chances to fix the problem, but now I have to go somewhere else and pay more to get it corrected. I do not trust this office anymore and would strongly caution anyone considering them for fillings.

I recently moved to the area and received a flyer in the mail advertising this dentist. I called…read moreand asked if they took my insurance and the response was that they took all insurances. That should have been my clue to move on, but then we wouldn't have this review. I asked to schedule a cleaning and X-rays. They were able to fit me in two and a half weeks later. I received a two pocket folder in the mail with paperwork to fill out. Basically background, insurance, and questionnaires on headaches. Day of the "suppose cleaning", I arrived at the office which was empty except for me, the secretary, the dentist, and a technician. I received a tour of the building and was shown the room where the cleanings took place; however, the dentist hygienist was off on Fridays. At this point I should have left, but I guess I was in shock. I replied that I had scheduled a cleaning and the response was, " Oh the doctor will go over that with you". I was then taken back and had X-rays completed. The doctor came in and for the next hour I went though a series of what I like to call, "the chamber of horrors". At one point they needed an extra set of hands so I assisted in stretching my mouth out for a procedure that I was told the insurance would pay for. At the end of a two hour whatever that was, I was handed their policy. Their policy basically stated that you were responsible for the total bill. Then it was your responsibly to file the claim with your insurance to get reimbursed. Why was this not stated before the services were rendered? I would have not scheduled or left before they could complete any services. Now I am responsible for the $99.00 dollars, which is apparently a great deal. What's a greater deal is billing the insurance correctly where I don't have to pay out of pocket. This is why I have TWO insurance premiums taken out of my check every two weeks. They did say that as a courtesy that they would bill my insurance; however, that was a mess and I will leave it at that. I am not sure where these other great reviews came from, perhaps people needing crowns. I just needed a cleaning and a new primary dentist, this practice is not the one.
